Frequently Asked Questions

What signal density does TFM-148-03-F-D-LC provide compared to standard 0.100" connectors?

TFM-148-03-F-D-LC delivers 96 pins at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row female configuration, achieving twice the signal density of traditional 0.100" pitch connectors. This high-density footprint enables routing of 96 independent signals across a markedly smaller PCB footprint, ideal for compact mezzanine and board-to-board interconnect applications.

Which high-speed digital interfaces benefit from using TFM-148-03-F-D-LC as the board-to-board connector?

TFM-148-03-F-D-LC suits high-speed digital interfaces in servers, FPGA development boards, and networking line cards where 96 pins at 0.050" pitch provide ample signal capacity for PCIe, DDR, and SerDes differential pairs. The open-pin-field array layout supports flexible signal assignment, enabling custom routing of high-bandwidth data buses at multi-Gbps rates.

How does TFM-148-03-F-D-LC integrate into automated SMT assembly processes?

TFM-148-03-F-D-LC features a surface mount footprint compatible with lead-free SMT reflow soldering at up to 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its 96-pin, 0.050" pitch dual-row layout is designed for automated pick-and-place equipment, enabling consistent solder joint quality in high-volume PCB production for server, telecom, and industrial mezzanine card assemblies.

What mating connector family is compatible with TFM-148-03-F-D-LC for board-to-board stacking?

TFM-148-03-F-D-LC mates with SAMTEC's compatible pin-strip counterparts in the TFM/TSM SEARAY family, enabling precise board-to-board stacking with 96 pins at 0.050" pitch. The -03 height designation controls the stacking distance between mated boards, making it suitable for mezzanine card and module systems requiring controlled inter-board separation in servers and industrial controllers.
